Ethics, Philosophy and Citizenship (EPC) is a subject through which pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage their lives now and in the future. All students are taught Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education (HE).

HEALTH EDUCATION (HE)

  12.  Personal Safety. 

  13.  Basic First Aid. 

  14. Developing Bodies 

EPC is delivered and sequenced using six core themes:

At Carlton le Willows we aim for the delivery to be age appropriate and respond to national concerns as well as issues raised by the local community, safeguarding team and pastoral support. This is why, at Carlton le Willows, we deliver the empirically validated Healthy Minds Curriculum. EPC will contribute to our students’ self-esteem and self-worth, which will impact positively on academic achievement, life skills, employability and other future life choices.

Our intent is to ensure that the pupils at Carlton le Willows Academy learn and develop skills and attributes to stay healthy, safe and prepare them for life and work in modern Britain.  

The Key Stage 3 curriculum acknowledges and addresses the changes that young people experience, beginning with transition to secondary school, the challenges of adolescence, and their increasing independence.

The Key Stage 4 curriculum reflects the fact that students are moving towards an independent role in adult life, taking on greater responsibility for themselves and others. In addition, teaching builds on the Key Stage 3 programme of study to deepen pupils’ understanding of democracy, government and the rights and responsibilities of citizens.
